Seeing their etiquette, Sixi frowned and reminded: "You two should kneel down and salute."
Poloni glanced at him and said: "When we return to the headquarters, we will not kneel down to anyone except the Lord God. It was already the highest etiquette just now."
"But..." Si Xi was about to say more, but Hongli already said: "Since they didn't kneel down and bow down, forget it, and give them a seat."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." After thanking the emperor, the two of them sat down on the chairs brought by the palace servants. Then Poloni bowed and said, "Thanks to His Majesty's grace, we were able to be free. We have always been grateful to Your Majesty.
Thank you for your kindness, but I was busy with my affairs before and had no time to go to Beijing to express my gratitude. Today I finally got my wish and I can express my gratitude to His Majesty in person."
Hongli smiled and said: "He Zhuo is interested. I have received the gifts you sent before. It is very good. I hope that the Qing Dynasty and the Hui tribe will be reconciled forever and there will be no more wars."
Huo Jizhan said quickly: "Your Majesty, my brother and I made an agreement before coming here. As long as the Qing Dynasty does not move troops, I will never move troops first when I return to my headquarters."
His words made Hongli very happy, "If this is the case, it will be a blessing for the Qing Dynasty and the people of the Hui tribe. I believe that under the leadership of you two, the Hui tribe will get better and better."
Both Xiao and Zhuo were flattered and said: "It is really a blessing for both of us to have His Majesty value you so much." After a moment of pause, Polonidu said: "To thank Your Majesty for your kindness, I came here with a special gift.
I present it to His Majesty, and I hope His Majesty will accept it."
Hongli said in surprise: "Oh? In addition to the previous tribute gifts, do you also have gifts? What are they?"
Polonidu smiled slightly and said: "Your Majesty will know later." As he said this, he took out a gourd silk from his arms, put it under his lips and blew a long sound of silk and bamboo. With this sound, a graceful and graceful girl
The figure appeared in Hongli's sight with light steps. Her face was covered with a gauze, making her appearance unclear.
After entering the palace, the girl danced to the music with a graceful posture, like a kingfisher or a flowing dragon, extremely light. Her flying sleeves were like snow lingering in the wind, and when she lowered her back, she was like a lotus breaking through the waves and emerging from the water; her clothes
It is decorated with many fine ornaments, and when the two touch each other, they make a pleasant sound.
The sound of silk and bamboo changed from slow to fast, and her movements became faster and faster. Her jewelry swayed and her clothes flew, as if she was riding on the wind, chasing the frightened bird.
Hongli stared unblinkingly at the dancing figure in the palace. As an emperor, he had seen countless singing and dancing in his life. There were also special dancers in the palace, but none of them could compare with the dancing skills of the woman in front of him.
, even before seeing his face, it is already fascinating and moving.
When everything stopped, Hongli was still immersed in the graceful dance. At the same time, his nose smelled a strange aroma that seemed familiar to him. He was surprised and said: "Where does this aroma come from?"
Huo Jizhan stood up and said, "Your Majesty, this girl is born with a strange fragrance, and the fragrance comes from her body."
Hongli said in surprise: "I am born with a strange fragrance, how can such a thing happen?"
"Yes, this girl has had a faint fragrance on her body since she was born. When she dances and runs, the fragrance will become more intense and even attract butterflies to chase her. Unfortunately, it is the middle of winter and there are no butterflies, so she can't see it.
Such a wonder." As soon as Huo Jizhan finished speaking, there was a colorful
A colorful butterfly flew in staggeringly from the outside and landed on the woman's shoulder. Then another one flew in and landed on the woman's outstretched finger. This strange sight surprised Hongli and others.
In the middle of winter, there are actually butterflies, and they actively land on women.
Hongli stood up and walked to the woman, reaching out to touch the butterfly on her fingertips, as if to confirm the authenticity of the butterfly. As soon as his hand touched it, the butterfly flew up and landed on the woman's other shoulder.
Laughter came from under the veil. The woman reached out and took the butterfly off her shoulder and put it in Hongli's palm. Strangely enough, the butterfly, which had always been afraid of people, was particularly docile in her hands, without any resistance, even in her hands.
After placing it in Hongli's palm, it did not fly up.
Hongli took a careful look at the butterfly in his palm, looked at the woman and said, "What's your name?"
"My name is Qiluo." The woman's voice was surprisingly pleasant, crisp and graceful, like a lark.
"Qiluo..." Hongli repeated several times, raised his hand to remove the woman's veil, and the next moment, a most beautiful face appeared in front of Hongli, which made Hongli, who was used to seeing beauty, feel amazed.
The feeling was just like when he first saw Xianyue.
Daxiao and Zhuo looked at each other and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, this is the gift from the two of us to you. Are you satisfied?"
Hongli ignored them, stared at Qiluo and said: "On the tenth day of October, are you in the capital?"
Qiluo said in surprise: "Yes, how did your Majesty know?"
"I have heard your singing, and I have also seen the wonderful scene of butterflies chasing you. Unfortunately, by the time I sent people to catch up, you had already left and I never saw you." As he said this, a trace of light appeared in Hongli's eyes.
Suspicious, "Why did you enter Beijing more than a month ago?"
Huo Jizhan said with a smile: "For your Majesty's Majesty, the two of us will send people to pay tribute to His Majesty. Qiluo has always yearned for the prosperity of the Qing Dynasty, so she quietly followed those people. I will not find out until later."
Hongli nodded slightly and said, "So, you have been in the capital for more than a month?"
Qiluo chuckled and said: "Yes, the Qing Dynasty is really good. I have never seen such a good place. My uncle told me that all this is thanks to your majesty. Because of your majesty's wisdom and martial arts, the people of the Qing Dynasty can have such a good place."
As time goes by, the two uncles can return to the ministry."
"Uncle?" Hongli looked at Polonidu in surprise, who bowed and said: "Qiluo is the daughter of my subordinate. During the war, he died to save me, so I recognized him as my brother.
Qiluo treats her as her niece."
"I see." After saying this, Hongli looked at Qiluo and said, "Do you want to stay with me?"
He has never been a person who likes to force things. If Qiluo doesn't want to, no matter how amazing and outstanding she is, he will not keep her by his side.
Qiluo was not as shy as an ordinary woman. Instead, she met his gaze and said calmly and generously: "My two uncles said that His Majesty is the most outstanding Batulu in the world. Qiluo wants to stay with Batulu."
Huo Jizhan said from the side: "Qiluo is the most precious woman in my Hui tribe. She is known as the pearl of the Hui tribe. Only she can express the respect that my two brothers have for Your Majesty. I hope Your Majesty will not refuse."
Polonidu also said: "Your Majesty accepts Qiluo, which is equivalent to treating everyone in my tribe as one of his own. From now on, whenever your majesty gives you orders, I will obey them all."
